When speaking of single man's work, i was speaking of the choice of the core compiler, while i have much respect on Charles work, he is getting old (like myself), thus do you think that somebody else could take on his work, that's the question (Zale's syndrom).

QuoteI would like to make it for SDK mostly.

If you do that, then i will find a way to support you (on Windows) with my own set of tools that have been already converted to 64-bit.
With the Windows version, 64-bit and UNICODE are the best way to go.

Patrice, PluriBASIC is made in a way that it allows anybody to work on it. For example, I seem to recall there is a bug in one of the DDT statements for DIALOG END hWnd&, but in PluriBASIC, even if i died, you could just open up the library DIALOG_END.bin and edit the statement yourself. It is pretty straightforward and it even allows to enter code for 32bit or 64 bits in the same library.

I plan to open it a bit more, for the moment all the "official" libraries would need to go trough me, but in the future i may implement a way to share libraries. Of course nothing would stop anobody from sharing libraries via email or something at the moment.

Besides, DDT is a secondary priority ATM. I would like to make it for SDK mostly.

This seems to confirm that he has given up.

Hi Brian
This is truly a good news, very glad that we have a replacement of old PB in 64bit . The question is how much do we have
to pay for this Beta product of yours , what's the asking minimum pricing per year  etc?

Fortunatly if you know C/C++ yourself, then you will be able to find a paid job to make your living, and keep working on PluriBASIC in your spare time.

But obviously the first thing to figure out, is:
Does there is still a market for programmers using the PowerBASIC proprietary DDT syntax ?

If i remember well, you are young, while most DDTers are already too old or retired to make a living from them.

I am realy upset when i see a young talented programmer wasting time with beached whales.

 I would not get too excited about the c++ implementation. I only tested with MINGW and im
not sure if i will continue with it's implementation. It is very time consuming working in two
implementations.

I'd rather be exited because the Oxygen implementation supports some c++ directly. Almost nothing
stops you from using the statements that oxygen supports already. Im not ture but i think Oxygen
also supports c++ dlls. Thats why i might drop directly c++ implementation, because it is already
present in Oxygen.

What C++, Visual Studio ?

Where are you living ?

Did you try to contact Drake ?

 Hello Patrice, The most advanced implementation is for OxygenBASIC, but it also supports C++.

It is not easy to work on both implementations though.

What is the current underlaying compiler used by PluriBASIC 64 ?
